Lake Santeetlah, the 'Secret of the Smokies'. Those of you who have visited before know how true this is! Discover 'the secret' and plan your getaway now. This pristine lake is nestled in the smoky mountains with 80 mile of shoreline, 90% of which is protected National Forest.
This home was recently renovated and boasts a new kitchen, bathroom and professionally decorated interiors. Relax in the cozy living room in front of the huge stone fireplace and plasma TV, or open the French doors to the huge, carpeted, screened porch that hangs over the water, and take in the amazing view. The 2 bedrooms are beautifully made-up with fine linens.
Your private dock is just 10 gentle steps from the house. Walk right into the crystal clear lake from the beach or jump off the dock for some fun! You can tie up your own boat, rental, or use our canoe to paddle around the serene coves! This property is located on Thunderbird Mountain, the most desired location on the lake!
We look forward to your visit!

This truly has to go down as one of our best vacations ever! First we want to thank you for sharing your cottage with us.We could have lived-and almost did-on your porch.In fact,with the exception of just one day we ate dinner on the porch every evening...and breakfast too. The weather was perfect as is your beautiful cottage. We also got in a lot of fishing on your dock. During the week we also put hundreds of miles on our car and, literally, took hundreds of pictures. In addition to being so beautiful your cottage is really close to some of the best the smokies have to offer! We Love this place and, God willing, will be back!! Again our sincerest thank yous for sharing your cottage. Perfect, perfect, perfect!!!

This had to be one of our best vacations ever, and certainly the busiest. We traveled a lot, but really enjoyed returning to the cottage, which felt more like home. It was beautiful, comfortable and practical in every sense. We also lucked out with the weather and were able to grill and eat outside almost every evening. We also managed to squeeze some fishing in as well. The owners were a true pleasure to work with and, God willing, we will most assuredly be returning here. Oh, I should also mention he cottage was exactly like the pictues, VERY clean and I would highly recommend it to one and all.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your review! We appreciate it very much. This cottage is the perfect place for making memories with family. Hope to see you all back again soon.

We would like to thank you so much for giving our family this opportunity of a truly amazing trip. we enjoyed every moment on and off the beautiful Santeetlah Lake. Your suggestions proved very useful in our planning. Your home is beautiful and inviting, proving to be a real home away from home. The memories which we have created in this short, fun filled week will definitely last us until next year. Thank you again for sharing your home with us.Did you find this review helpful?

My husband and I truly enjoyed our weekend stay at this cottage....the view of the lake and mountains was perfect. The screened porch is a great place to relax with a glass of vino and the beautiful scenery...as is the dock. The lake is crystal clear and very serene. The coziness of the cottage is enhanced by the mix of chic and quaint decor....very charming, clean and well kept. Some of the best nights' sleep we have had lately too! We loved this area....awesome Fall colors, easy to get to town, great drives around the mountains/lakes.....will definitely return. The owners are very cordial and easy to deal with.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

Thank you for the week at your cottage. Had an awesome break from work & got to fish with my boys. Saw the moon come up over the mountains while the sun was setting in the other direction! Loved Joyce Kilmer.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Loved our time here. The cabin was so comfy and the view across the lake was wonderful. Highlights for us were: Cades Cove where we saw a bear.Loved the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest (easy and scenic 2 mile hike), River Trail and shopping in Cherokee. Now we return home rested, relaxed and full of wonderful memories!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
